Ali Yakoub Mahamoud

En marge de la deuxième édition du forum sur le Global Gateway qui s’est tenue à Bruxelles le 9 et 10 octobre, S.E. L’ambassadeur Aden Mohamed Dileita nous a reçus dans sa residence pour un déjeuner de brainstorming.

In preparation for the Paris Peace Forum, which will take place in Paris next November, we received the founder and CEO, Mr. Justin Vaïsse. He gave us a written message addressed to the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahamoud Ali Youssouf.

#Djibouti honored to take the floor today at the @UN Security Council high-level open debate on “The Safety and Protection of Waterways in the Maritime Domain”. “Djibouti’s conviction is clear: the oceans and seas are a shared responsibility. As a littoral State at the entrance of the Red Sea, Djibouti sees every day how vital safe and open sea lanes are to global trade, energy security, and food supply. Djibouti has long supported a rules-based order at sea, including through the Djibouti Code of Conduct and its role as a hub for maritime security and counter piracy operations. At a time of rising tensions in key waterways, the choice before us is clear. Either narrow interests and short-term calculations prevail, or we reaffirm together that freedom of navigation, respect for international law, and the protection of our marine environment are in the common interest of all. Djibouti stands for cooperation, restraint, and responsibility.” #UNSC #MaritimeSecurity

يسعدني أن أكون قد رافقت فخامة رئيس مفوضية الاتحاد الأفريقي خلال زيارته لمقر @UNESCOarabic في باريس بعد ظهر اليوم. وقد تم التطرق إلى العديد من الموضوعات المهمة، مما يدل على الإرادة المشتركة لتعزيز التعاون وتشجيع المبادرات الواعدة لخدمة القارة الأفريقية.

Heureux d’accueillir le Président de la Commission de l’Union africaine, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf. Dans un monde de plus en plus bousculé, l’Union africaine est un interlocuteur essentiel de la France, de l’Union européenne et de la communauté internationale pour promouvoir le développement, la paix et la sécurité et protéger les biens publics mondiaux sur le continent. La France entend être un partenaire fiable et solide de l’Union africaine sur tous ces enjeux. Le Sommet Africa Forward qui se tiendra à Nairobi, les 11 et 12 mai, doit nous permettre de franchir une nouvelle étape au bénéfice de nos deux continents.
